商品描述
This book presents a scientific exploration into the use of fungal enzymes to degrade persistent environmental pollutants. It combines foundational theory, emerging research, and real-world case studies to showcase fungi's role in mitigating chemical contamination. The book begins by outlining the global threat posed by xenobiotics--synthetic compounds like pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals--and the limitations of conventional remediation strategies. Early chapters delve into the biology of fungi, highlighting their powerful enzymatic systems such as laccases and peroxidases. These systems underpin the mycoremediation process, offering eco-friendly alternatives for detoxifying harmful pollutants. Subsequent chapters explore fungal degradation mechanisms, including enzymatic pathways, metabolic routes, and genomic insights. Readers will find extensive coverage of bioreactor design, large-scale applications, and case studies across various environmental settings. The book also addresses the technological, regulatory, and economic challenges of implementing mycoremediation, concluding with future prospects in synthetic biology, CRISPR-engineered fungi, and policy development. This comprehensive resource is tailored for a diverse audience including environmental scientists, microbiologists, biotechnologists, engineers, policymakers, and advanced students. Whether for academic research, policy formulation, or field application, this book serves as an essential reference for those seeking sustainable solutions to the growing threat of xenobiotic contamination through fungal biotechnology.

本書對利用真菌酶降解持久性環境污染物進行了科學探索。它結合了基礎理論、新興研究和現實案例研究，展示了真菌在減輕化學污染方面的作用。本書首先概述了外源性物質（如農藥、藥物和工業化學品）所帶來的全球威脅，以及傳統修復策略的局限性。早期章節深入探討了真菌的生物學，突顯了其強大的酶系統，如漆酶（laccases）和過氧化物酶（peroxidases）。這些系統是真菌修復過程的基礎，提供了環保的替代方案來解毒有害污染物。
隨後的章節探討了真菌降解機制，包括酶途徑、代謝路徑和基因組見解。讀者將發現對生物反應器設計、大規模應用和各種環境設置中的案例研究的廣泛覆蓋。本書還討論了實施真菌修復的技術、法規和經濟挑戰，並以合成生物學、CRISPR工程真菌和政策發展的未來前景作結。
這本全面的資源針對包括環境科學家、微生物學家、生物技術專家、工程師、政策制定者和高級學生在內的多元讀者群體。無論是用於學術研究、政策制定還是現場應用，本書都是尋求通過真菌生物技術解決日益嚴重的外源性污染威脅的可持續解決方案的重要參考資料。
